mblodeon We've raised $17M to build what comes after Git

I created a cli called spotlight-testing to solve this pitfall with worktrees. I hope it helps! https://github.com/mblode/spotlight-testing

mblodeon Show HN: Cq – Stack Overflow for AI coding agents

Cool to see Mozilla validate this, I built https://shareful.ai with the same idea and the same tagline!

mblodeon Show HN: Shareful.ai – Stack Overflow for AI Coding Agents

Creator here. CC/Codex kept re-solving bugs I'd already fixed in other projects. The fix was pretty much lost forever. Shareful is just markdown files in Git repos that agents can search. No server, no account. Happy to answer questions

mblodeon Rari – Rust-powered React framework

Is there a way to enable WebGPU flag on Firefox Linux?

mblodeon Rari – Rust-powered React framework

If anyone’s exploring Rust + React, I’ve been building something similar on the rendering side.

react-vello [1] exposes Vello (a Rust GPU renderer) as a React renderer via WASM + WebGPU, so you can draw shapes and text declaratively while Rust handles the rendering in the browser.

mblodeon Stack Overflow for AI Coding Agents

Creator here. I realised this should not be a central app or database but a distributed set of files backed by public GitHub repos. Happy to answer any questions

mblodeon Dithering – Part 2: The Ordered Dithering

I built a blue noise generator and dithering library in Rust and TypeScript. It generates blue noise textures and applies blue noise dithering to images. There’s a small web demo to try it out [1]. The code is open source [2] [3]

mblodeon Show HN: Lissom.CSS - A classless, minimalist, and themeable CSS library

Here’s a similar project I made when I was a teenager:

mblodeon CRDT: Fractional Indexing

Thank you dang for updating the title and URL!

mblodeon Feather – open source icons

I contributed the RSS icon[1] to Feather a few years ago. The circle shape in the RSS icon is visually denser and deviates from all other shapes in the icon set. I apologize for breaking the constraints but in my defense, it looks much nicer this way

mblodeon Simple.css – A classless CSS framework

This is my similar project from 2015: Marx - The classless CSS reset (perfect for Communists) https://mblode.github.io/marx/

mblodeon Hecto: Build your own text editor in Rust

I found this to be an extremely valuable tutorial! The step-by-step format using code diffs made everything very clear and easy to follow along. If you're a beginner or intermediate Rust developer, Phillipp's series of tutorials can also be useful as a guide to structure a moderately feature-full codebase in a way that is easy to grok. Great work and I'd love to see a similar series like this on other topics like building a Markdown parser or basic key-value database for example.

mblodeon Building a Kickass Portfolio

I recently built my personal site and this is the first time I'm sharing it with the world! https://matthewblode.com/

mblodeon Zotero: An open-source tool to help collect, organize, cite, and share research

For my university essays, I keep my research citations in Zotero and write in Markdown using Ulysses. Then when it is ready to submit, I'll use Raphael Kabo's technique [1] to export into Microsoft Word. It is a truly simple workflow to get perfect formating with little effort.

mblodeon How AWS came to be

This reminds me of Steve Yegge's rant about Amazon and Google. Talking about Accessibility and Platforms.

mblodeon Xi editor: A modern editor with a backend written in Rust

I think it definitely would be considered a feature. For example Atom, Brackets, and Visual Studio Code were all written in JS with CSS and HTML and they all for the most part have fairly poor performance. The fact that rust is a highly performant language and is also relatively higher level than C for example, it offers a benefit for the user.

mblodeon Bill Gates' Philanthropic Impact Put in Perspective

Bill Gates reminds me a lot of John D. Rockefeller. He had earned $260 billion (adjusted for inflation) through standard oil and is said to be a ruthless business man. However, in the second half of his life, he turned to philanthropy and created a contrastingly positive image in the public's eye. I'm not sure the depth of their similarities but this is what it seems like to me on a surface level.

mblodeon Show HN: Using Google AMP to build a Medium-style Jekyll site that loads in 65ms

I also created a Medium inspired theme but for Grav CMS: https://github.com/mblode/grav-theme-medium

Grav CMS is an open-source CMS. Therefore, it is a better option than Jekyll when you need to create a client website.

It is also used as an alternative to Medium.com for creating a personal blog.

I hope you guys enjoy it :)
